How to Make Crispy Parmesan Potato Puffs

  1. Peel and cube 2 lbs of russet potatoes. Add potatoes to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Mash until smooth with 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Roll the chilled potato mixture into 1-inch balls.
  6. In a shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg. Dip each potato ball in the egg, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Coat the egg-dipped potato balls in 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches between each puff.
  8. Lightly spritz the potato puffs with olive oil cooking spray.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
